Automaker Audi will work with LG Chem and Samsung SDI to develop new electric batteries able to power its vehicles up to 300 miles on a single charge.

Audi will receive support from LG and Samsung, as they "invest in the cell technology in Europe", aimed for Audi SUV. Of course, the S6 isn't expected for release until 2018, so they have a bit of time to test different technologies.

"With our first battery-electric Audi-SUV, we are combining an emission-free drive system with driving pleasure," said Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Audi AG for Development board member, in a public statement. "We will optimally integrate the innovative cell modules developed with LG Chem and Samsung SDI into our vehicle architecture, thus achieving an attractive overall package of sportiness and range."


With the race on to build better batteries, hopefully m&g can help lead the way.
